Geocache Description:

[updated 3/19/23 by bookmeister17: same spot; different container (matches the cache name); hopefully easier to extract. BYOP. Please leave the remains of the previous container in place so the new container doesn't disappear] ………………..

Our 5 year old daughter has caught the geocaching bug! She was so excited to fill, decorate, and hide her first geocache in her local park.


Parking and park entrance can be found at:

N 38 47.502 W 077 05.033

Alternate parking and park entrance can be found at:

N 38 47.471 W 077 04.907

 

This geocache is suitable for smaller hunters. There are no paths or trails in this park, but the cache is an easy walk from the parking area.  You might want to approach after crossing the bridge--ground can be quite wet.

We had to move this a little because poison ivy took over the original tree. It is now in the same part of a different tree the edge of a nearby clump of trees. The new geocaching app doesn't report your location anymore! Thus I had to use mapping apps to calculate the location. If anyone finds that the new coordinates are inaccurate, please let me know!
